Ginny and Chris Meerman have been married for 16 years.Their dedication to each other has provided them the greatest opportunities to make a difference not only in each other’s lives, but in the lives of those around them.

Ginny is considered one of the nation’s foremost advocates and volunteers.For more than 20 years she has dedicated herself to helping others and has founded such organizations as HopeLink, Friends of FoodLink and SomeOne Cares.Her involvement with other organizations includes The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, The World Heart Federation and Rotary International.She is currently a Spokeswoman for WomenHeart and travels nationally, and internationally, to promote the Living Heartfully campaign.For four weeks this summer, the Meermans will be hosting a young woman from Barcelona, Spain who is studying heart disease and its impact on women’s lives.

Ginny is a 15-year survivor of heart disease (ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation) and celebrates each day – each heartbeat – as a gift.She wants everyone to know that more than 267,000 women die each year from heart attacks…that’s six times as many women who die from breast cancer…and with education, as well as advocacy, that infamous statistic can be drastically reduced!

Ginny is an internationally published author, donating all proceeds to charity.Her current literary project is expected to be published in Autumn, 2009 by Bantam Dell.
